Pet of the Week: Baker the cattle dog
Baker is about 1-2 years old, according to Pet Friends. He is a Queensland Heeler (Cattle Dog per Pet Finder) with red merle markings. He is a sweetheart of a dog. He calms down easily after he plays with his toys or with people. Baker was brought in to the local animal shelter in the night box and was listed as a stray. If you are interested in Baker or any of our other canines, call Pet Friends at (831) 634-1191 with your questions. For more, go to petfriends.org.
